homemade atv cabs
« on: Nov 07, 2016, 11:42 AM »
I am looking for details on making a enclosed cab for my Polaris sportsman for hardwater trolling. I know there are ones that you can buy but I would like to make my own. Since I am new to this site this topic has probably been hashed over and over and over again. With that would anyone be willing to share some ideas with an advent ice fisherman.

I am considering adding a cab too, on my Polaris. I tried searching for plans online, but couldn't come up with any. Best bet is to review home made ATV cabs on YouTube, and then go from there. There is one made out of square aluminum welded stock, and the guy did an outstanding job. Some were made out of wood, might make it too heavy. Sure looks like a good way to travel in cold weather to me.

Just a thought here.....but, I wonder if any of the ATV forums would have the info you're seeking? May be worth a look if you haven't checked them already.

I'm on the Polaris ATV Forum and there's nothing.

I don't have a pic but one of the riders in a utv club I belong to used clear mylar to enclose his cab (Maverick turbo) last winter on our yearly winter ride.  He used velcro and zip ties and I was pretty impressed with the way it turned out.  The heat from the engine kept it so warm he rode without wearing his outer coat.

There is a guy on YouTube from Canada that made one of the best homemade cabs I have seen on the Internet, all aluminum frame. He basically used cardboard to make a stencil to be able to make a frame around the fenders but the problem is he only has a video and no pictures which would be much more helpful to use as a reference.

Princess Auto in Canada sells ATV cabs dirt cheap on sale sometimes.  I'm not too sure if its a regularly stocked item or not.
